The stock market to-day was weak almost all
day, and prices tonight show material losses in
all active stocks Dealings for the most part
are dull, because bulls took little interest in the
market. The apparently immediate depressing
influence was the illness of the German Crown
Prince which caused a throwing over OF stocks
in Europe, and selling by foreigners here as a
natural consequence The excitement in Chi
cago over the Anarchists was made the means
of intimidating buyers by bears, to which was
added some hammering. The bulls seemed to
offer no resistance to the reaction, and arc be
leved not to be adverse TO it, There was con-
test in Reading in the forenoon and its price
was well supported for time, but il gave way
later with the remainder, and as usual Of late its
transactions were q very large proportion Of the
